To get the most out of your snowshoeing experience, it's essential to be well equipped to guarantee comfort and safety in sometimes changeable winter conditions. Here are our recommendations for a successful outing:
-
Warm, breathable clothing :
-
Ski or hiking trousers, with thermal tights to protect you from the cold.
-
Underpants and fleece for good thermal insulation.
-
Warm, waterproof jacket to keep you dry.
-
-
Essential accessories :
-
A hat and insulated gloves to keep your hands warm (and for children, several pairs if possible, as their gloves are likely to get wet quickly when playing in the snow).
-
Sunglasses to protect your eyes from the glare of the snow.
-
Sun cream to protect your skin from UV rays, even in winter.
-
-
Suitable footwear :
-
Choose high hiking boots or sturdy après-ski boots (avoid moonboots, which are not suitable for rough terrain).
-
-
Backpack for the essentials :
-
Take a small rucksack with a bottle of water or thermos, a few snacks and, for day trips, a picnic and at least 1.5 litres of water per person.
-
Don't forget that conditions in the mountains can change rapidly. So the right equipment is essential to ensure your snowshoeing outing is comfortable and safe.
For the little ones, think of extra gloves and good protection against the cold and the sun.
